UM-Flint welcomes veterans and active-duty service men and woman to our campus. Student veterans are welcome to apply here. To support a successful transition to university and civilian life, we also offer the dedicated services of our Student Veterans Resource Center. This center offers assistance with accessing education benefits as well as connecting to campus and community resources.

ADMITTED U-M STUDENTS AND FREE SPEECH

Our admitted students have an ongoing responsibility to inform the University of Michigan of any changes to their disciplinary and/or criminal history until they begin their first term of enrollment at U-M. In accordance with our policy, students should disclose any criminal conduct or disciplinary action taken by their high school. However, the context and rationale for these actions is always taken into consideration. The University of Michigan is a public university in a democratic society with a commitment to free speech. We value the right of students to exercise their voices and engage in lawful protest on issues that are important to them. Our university community is currently engaging in deep exploration of issues related to free speech as a cornerstone of American democracy.
